1. SURVEYING THE OLD TESTAMENT
GETTING THE BIG PICTURE OF THE OLD TESTAMENT

2. THE PLAN OF GOD: IN THE BEGINNING
WHERE DO WE START?
THE PLAN OF GOD: IN THE BEGINNING
THE ORIGINAL PLAN was ruined by SIN.
MAN’S DECISION caused the loss of his PLACE, PRIORITY & PRIVILEGE
GOD’S DECISION: to destroy or to restore/reconcile?
God chose to restore the ORIGINAL PLAN.
THE ORIGINAL PLAN OF GOD:
Man alone was made in the “IMAGE OF GOD”. This fact gave him…
(1) PRIVILEGE: fellowship w/ God-Gen.1:26/3:8
(2) PRIORITY: man to rule the earth-Gen.1:26; Ps.8:3
(3) PLACE: in a physical paradise-Gen.2:8-17

3. GOD’S PURPOSES RESTORED
RESTORED PURPOSES:
(1) FELLOWSHIP RESTORED AT THE CROSS (Rom. 3:23; 21-24) BUT REALIZED COMPLETELY IN THE FUTURE. (Revelation 21:3; 22:3-4)

THE STORY OF SCRIPTURE

4. GOD’S PURPOSES RESTORED
(2) RULERSHIP RE-ESTABLISHED THROUGH MESSIAH THE GOD-MAN (Rev. 11:15-18; 19:6,11-16) and THOSE WHO WILL CO-RULE WITH HIM (Heb. 2:5-8; 1:9; 3:14; 2 Tim. 2:11-13; Rev. 5:10; 20:4; 22:5).
(3) PARADISE RESTORED IN THE MESSIANIC KINGDOM AND THE NEW EARTH (Isa.35; Rom. 8:19-23; Rev.21:1)

5. RESTORING THE ORIGINAL PURPOSES OF GOD FOR MAN
THE OLD TESTAMENT BEGINS THE STORY OF GOD’S PROGRAM TO RESTORE MANKIND.
THE O.T. STORY BEGINS WITH GOD’S DECLARATION THAT THE “SEED” OF THE WOMAN WILL BE THE MEANS GOD USES TO BRING ABOUT THIS RESTORATION.

TO ABRAHAM
*DESCENDANTS
*A GREAT
NATION
*PROSPERITY
*KINGS WOULD

HIM TO
ABRAHAM’S
DESCENDANTS
(through Isaac and
Jacob)
*A GREAT
NATION
*A LAND AREA
*PERPETUITY
TO ALL THE
NATIONS
*BLESSING
WOULD COME
THROUGH
THE “SEED”
OF ABRAHAM

21. NATURE OF THE COVENANT (1) AN EVERLASTING COVENANT
Gen. 13:15; 17:7,13,19; 1 Chron. 16:16; Psa. 105:9; Jer. 31:35-37.
O.T. N.T MILLENNIUM ETERNITY
NEW HEAVENS AND EARTH
“EVERLASTING”???
“EVERLASTING”???
(2) AN UNCONDITIONAL COVENANT
FULFILLMENT DEPENDS ON GOD ALONE.
DISOBEDIENCE DOES MATTER, BUT THE COVENANT IS NOT TERMINATED BY IT.
Gal.3:14-29; 2 Kings 13:23; Luke 1:67, 75; Acts 3:25-26 (“you are”)

22. RATIFICATION AND FULFILLMENT OF THE ABRAHAMIC COVENANT
A RATIFIED COVENANT
Gen.15:8-18; Gal. 3:15-17
COVENANT FULFILLMENT
WHERE FULFILLMENT HAS HAPPENED, IT HAS BEEN LITERALLY FULFILLED. MOST HAS NOT YET BEEN FULFILLED.

23. THE “SUB-COVENANTS”
THESE COVENANTS ARE PART OF THE ABRAHAMIC COVENANT.
THEY DEVELOP THE BASIC POINTS FOUND IN THE ABRAHAMIC COVENANT.
THEY ALSO ARE UNCONDITIONAL AND EVERLASTING SINCE THEY ARE PART OF THE ABRAHAMIC COVENANT.
LAND (a.k.a. Palestinian) COVENANT GIVES ADDED DETAILS ABOUT THE LAND GOD WAS GIVING TO ISRAEL.

24. (Approximate boundries)
Blank 4
THE LAND OF PROMISE
(Approximate boundries)

25. PROVISIONS OF THE PALESTINIAN (Land) COVENANT
(1) The “deed” to the Land belongs to Abraham’s descendants through Isaac and Jacob.
(2) The borders of the Land are clearly defined in the Scriptures.
(3) It will be possessed/occupied by Israel.
(4) The day will come when Israel will occupy the Land forever and not be removed out of it.

26. THE “SUB-COVENANTS”
DAVIDIC COV. EXPANDS THE KING AND “SEED” ASPECT OF THE ABE. COV. (Kings/Messiah from David)
IT FINDS ITS FULFILLMENT IN KING DAVID AND IN DAVID’S GREATER SON, THE MESSIAH JESUS.

27. THE DAVIDIC COVENANT PROVISION FULFILLMENT SCRIPTURE
1. PERSONAL GREATNESS
2 SAMUEL 7: CHRON. 17:8
2. REST FROM ENEMIES
PSALM 89:20-23
2 SAM. 7
3. A HOUSE
PSALM 89:3-4
4. A THRONE
JER.33:14; PSA.89; LK.1:32
5. A KINGDOM
LUKE 1:32-33
2 SAM. 7; PSA.89
David was a famous
and respected king.
David had victory
over his enemies
Ruling dynasty in all
of monarchy. Finally
In JESUS CHRIST.
In the MILLENNIUM.
Messianic kingdom
Messiah Jesus will
rule over the earth.

28. THE “SUB-COVENANTS”
THE NEW COVENANT FOCUSES ON THE “BLESSING” ASPECT OF THE ABE. COV. SALVATION AND THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS WOULD BE PROVIDED BY THE LORD. (Based on the Cross).
NEW COVENANT MADE WITH ISRAEL/JUDAH. Jer. 31:31ff.
IT IS NOT FULFILLED IN THE CHURCH.
THE CHURCH IS A “PARTAKER” OF THE COVENANT. (cf. Rom. 11:17; Gen. 12:3)

29. THE MOSAIC COVENANT AND THE ABRAHAMIC COVENANT
MOSAIC COVENANT IS NOT A SUB-COVENANT OF THE ABE. COV.
THEY ARE TWO DIFFERENT KINDS OF COVENANTS. (Conditional vs. Uncond.)
ABE. AND MOSAIC WERE GIVEN FOR TWO DIFFERENT PURPOSES.
MOSAIC GIVEN JUST TO ISRAEL WHILE THE ABE. INCLUDES ALL OF MANKIND.

32. HEBREW POETRY
PARALLELISM is the primary feature of Hebrew poetry...not rhyme.
It is “thought” or “sense” rhyme.
There are 3 common types of parallelism.
#1 – SYNONYMOUS PARALLELISM
#2 – ANTITHETIC PARALLELISM
#3 – SYNTHETIC PARALLELISM

33. SYNONYMOUS PARALLELISM
HEBREW POETRY
SYNONYMOUS PARALLELISM
The same thought given in the first line is repeated in different words in the second line. (The thoughts are parallel even though exact synonymity is rare).
Psalm 19:1-2
THE HEAVENS ARE TELLING THE GLORY OF GOD
AND THEIR EXPANSE IS DECLARING THE WORK OF HIS HANDS
DAY TO DAY POURS FORTH SPEECH
AND NIGHT TO NIGHT REVEALS KNOWLEDGE

34. (2) ANTITHETIC PARALLELISM
HEBREW POETRY
(2) ANTITHETIC PARALLELISM
The thought in the first line is contrasted by the thought in the second line.
The second part expresses the opposite or a contrary idea.
PSALM 1:6
THE LORD KNOWS THE WAY OF THE RIGHTEOUS
BUT THE WAY OF THE WICKED WILL PERISH

35. (3) SYNTHETIC PARALLELISM
HEBREW POETRY
(3) SYNTHETIC PARALLELISM
One thought is built on another. The second line takes up and in some way develops further a thought begun in the first line. The second line will include something not found in the first.
PSALM 1:2-3
BUT HIS DELIGHT IS IN THE LAW OF THE LORD
AND IN HIS LAW HE MEDITATES DAY AND NIGHT
AND HE WILL BE LIKE A TREE PLANTED BY THE STREAMS OF WATER
WHICH YIELDS ITS FRUIT IN ITS SEASON

36. HEBREW POETRY
OTHER FEATURES???
Other types of parallelism
Acrostic arrangement – e.g. starting each verse with the next Hebrew letter in the alphabet.
Alliteration – e.g. starting each verse with the same letter.
Significant use of word pictures, figures of speech and personification.

37. THE THREE PRIMARY OFFICES IN ISRAEL

AZRIEL
PROPHET
NO FAMILY
NO TRIBE
JEREMIAH 7
TRIBE OF
ASHER
PRIEST
NUMBERS 3
KING
2 SAMUEL 7
LINE OF DAVID
TRIBE OF LEVI
THE PURITY OF THE OFFICE OF THE
PROPHET WAS GUARENTEED BECAUSE
GOD SELECTED THEM INDIVIDUALLY

38. THE PROPHETS OF ISRAEL: THE HEBREW WORDS
#1 – nabhi
-Exodus 4:15-16; 7:1
-Aaron would be the “mouth” of Moses.
-Jeremiah 1:17; 15:19
-Jeremiah would speak for God; he would be “as God’s mouth.”
*The “nabhi” did not originate the message but only delivered what God had said. (He was the mouth not the brain).
#2 – ro’eh/hozeh
-1 Samuel 9:9 (Note Numbers 12:6-7)
- A “seer”. He received the message from God by means of visions and dreams.

39. THE PROPHETS OF ISRAEL: THE ROLE OF THE PROPHET
The prophet’s role was far more than one who predicted the future.
#1 – He was a PREACHER basing much of his ministry/message on Israel’s “constitution” (the Mosaic Law)
#2 – He was a PREDICTOR (prophet) of future events.
#3 – He was a WATCHMAN standing guard over Israel’s constitution.
#4 – He was often a COUNSELLOR to the king, attempting to help the king rule in righteousness.

40. THE PROPHETS OF ISRAEL: TRUE AND FALSE PROPHETS (Deut. 13 & 18)
(1) A TRUE PROPHET ALWAYS SPOKE IN THE NAME (authority) OF THE LORD.
(2) THE PROPHECIES OF THE TRUE PROPHET WERE ALWAYS ACCURATE. (Near/Far view)
(3) THE TRUE PROPHET’S MINISTRY ALWAYS LED PEOPLE TO WALK WITH THE LORD.
(4) THE TRUE PROPHET NEVER CONTRADICTED PREVIOUS REVELATION FROM GOD.
(5) THE TRUE PROPHET’S MESSAGE WAS OF HIGH MORAL AND SPIRITUAL QUALITY.
(6) THE LIFE OF A FALSE PROPHET WAS CHARACTERIZED BY GREED, PRIDE AND IMMORALITY.
Note Jeremiah 23

41. THE PROPHETS OF ISRAEL: “MAJOR” and “MINOR’
A PROPHET HAS BEEN DESIGNATED AS “MAJOR” BECAUSE:
(1) VOLUME – THE BOOK IS SIMPLY LARGER, CONTAINING MORE MATERIAL.
(2) SCOPE – IT INCLUDES MANY SUBJECTS AND ISSUES. “MINOR” PROPHETS USUALLY HAVE A MAIN SUBJECT OR EMPHASIS.

42. THE PROPHETS OF ISRAEL: SOME BASIC RULES OF INTERPRETATION
Biblical interpretation is an ART and as well as a SCIENCE.
(1) INTERPRET LITERALLY/NORMALLY. Let language function normally. E.g. Ezekiel 36: Isaiah 9:6-7.
(2) INTERPRET ACCORDING TO THE HARMONY OF SCRIPTURE. E.g Joel 2:1
(3) INTERPRET ACCORDING TO THE CONTEXT ITSELF. E.g. Isaiah 35:1
(4) INTERPRET WITH THE ABRAHAMIC COVENANT IN MIND. E.g. Daniel 7:13-14; Romans 11:25-27
(5) OBSERVE THE TIME PERSPECTIVES OF PROPHECY. E.g Isaiah 9:1-7; 61:1-3
